Hoses, hoses and more hoses!

This is very true!

After 2 expandable hoses burst (they were both customer hoses and I felt bad), I bought the Zero G from Lowes. I primarily use customer water and electricity but have the Zero G as a backup up hose if ever needed.

Yes, I know! Anyway, I started this thread primarily to avoid the mess shown in the picture below!

Is it really that difficult to wind up a hose for some people?
I can't imagine what their extension cords look like.

I guess that's why people buy those winderuppers for both.

I agree.. I can only imagine what a super premium hose must feel like, but my normL garden hose winds up without being a chore, so I'm not complaining.

My extension cords are always neatly rolled up too.



But just in case anyone needs 1, or they feel like treating themselves to a fancy Christmas present, there's a retractable hose reel in the Griots catalog you can purchase for only $289.00... And it doesn't even come with the hose!lol.

Flex Zilla is the only one I use. I have two 50 footers. They are light, never had a kinking issue, and don't mark up boats

I never knew that I was "hose poor" until I looked up the price for a tricoflex.

No black comes off, does not kink and has removable aluminum ends to make it easy to repair if needed. Will never need to buy another hose, check the warranty.

So much talk about this Flexzilla so I looked it up.. I might just get 1 because I do need a new hose at the moment.

This year I purchased 2 Flexilla water hoses, retractable air hose reel and retractable extension cord reel - happy with all of them.

I bought a hose at Lowes. It was a "professional" "never kink" hose. I hate it. It kinks like crazy. Should have named it "The Always Will Kink" hose. I need a 100 ft hose. I'm going to check out the Flexzilla.

I bought one of the expandable type hoses for my 78 year old Mother. No problems so far. They are fine for light duty. I don't expect it to last very long though. The fittings are very low quality.
